Murder suspect is seized in Maryland
Tuesday, April 28, 2009 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER An alleged Latin Kings street gang member on the run since a Jersey City Heights murder in 2005 was arrested Friday in Maryland, where he was living under an assumed name, officials said. "We are gratified that finally he has been apprehended and in short order will be produced before the Superior Court in Hudson County," Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said yesterday of the arrest of Joseph Moreira, 29, in Prince Charles County. Known as "King Megs," Moreira, a former resident of Marshall Drive in Hoboken, is charged in the Oct. 18, 2005 slaying of 26-year-old Juan Batista, who was gunned down on the sidewalk outside a barbershop, officials said. On the night of the shooting, Moreira got out of a car, approached Batista, said something to him and then opened fire, officials said. The victim, who was shot multiple times in the head and back, managed to run a few steps before collapsing, officials said. The motive for the shooting was a prior beef between the gunman and victim, investigators said. DeFazio said a tip on Moreira's whereabouts triggered an investigation by his office about a month ago. Once he was located, the U.S. marshals were called in to make the arrest. Homicide investigators believe Moreira will not fight extradition back to New Jersey and he could make his first appearance in court in Jersey City by late this week.

Didn't this guy used to hang out on Jersey Ave? I thought I saw some King Megs graffiti on the Gazebo at Hamilton Park.
